Hi Yannick, from memory the first 2 parts of the were interchangeable as one part focused more on X-Men and the other more with Guardians of the Galaxy. I can only assume they went with Guardians first due to their popularity.

You and me both. I hate being messed around like that. I have a fixed budget for comics and will not be buying the other comics so my money is wasted unless I illegally download another comic just to make sense of the one I have paid hard earned money for. It’s like they want to make criminals of the fans or force them to spend money they don’t have. Sorry Marvel but I am not going to go into debt just to follow a storyline.
